01 — My experience

I remember coming here as a child and having the privilege of seeing turtles, birds, iguanas, and butterflies. I have cherished the memory of this place ever since. That is why, now that I have opened my eyes and my mind to the wonders of nature, I have returned to capture with my camera the species that call this place home.

I highly recommend everyone visit this space at least once in their lifetime. It is a place where nature coexists with the urban pace of life, allowing us to enjoy the biodiversity that defines Colombia right in the middle of the city. If possible, try to visit during the week; the quiet atmosphere is much better for those looking to observe the wildlife closely.

An oasis of life in the heart of Medellín—a must-see when you visit.
